1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the
compressor.
Ensure that the compressor is in good order and condition before
use. If in any doubt do not use the compressor and contact a
service agent.
WARNING! Compressor must only be serviced by an
authorised agent. DO NOT tamper with, or attempt to adjust
the pressure switch or the safety valve.
Before moving or maintaining the compressorensure that the air
tank pressure has been vented.
Only use recommended attachments and parts. Unapproved
items may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Read the instructions for any accessory used with the
compressor. Ensure that the safe working pressure of any air
appliance used, exceeds the output pressure of the compressor.
If using a spray gun, check that the area selected for spraying is
provided with an air change system or adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the air supply valve is turned off before disconnecting
the air supply hose.
Use the compressor in a well ventilated area and ensure it is
placed on a firm surface. Remember that the compressor
engine produces harmful exhaust fumes.
Keep tools and other items away from the compressor when it is
in use, and keep work area clean.
Ensure that air hoses are not tangled, twisted or pinched.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
DO NOT dis-assemble the compressor for any reason if you are not
qualified to do so. The unit must be checked by qualified personnel
only.
DO NOT operate the compressor within the vicinity of flammable
liquids, gases or solids.
DO NOT touch compressor cylinder, cylinder head or pipe from
head to tank as these may be hot and will remain so for some
time after shutdown.
DO NOT operate the compressor without all safety guards in
place.
DO NOT attempt to move the compressor by pulling the air tool
hose.
DO NOT use the compressor for a task for which it is not
designed.
DO NOT deface the certification plate attached to the compressor
tank.
DANGER! DO NOT direct the output jet of air towards people
or animals.
DO NOT operate the compressor without an air filter.
DO NOT allow anyone to operate the compressor unless they
have received full instructions.
For safety instructions relative to the maintenance and use of the
petrol engine - refer to the engine manufacturer’s handbook
supplied.
DO NOT check the ignition system by removing the spark plug or
spark plug lead. Use specific tester or contact service agent.
WARNING! DO NOT touch the spark plug or plug lead whilst
the engine is running - severe, potentially fatal, electric
shock may result.
Ensure that engine fuel is stored in an approved container. For
long term storage ensure that the fuel tank is drained and that
the compressor is adequately protected.
DO NOT smoke or have any naked flames nearby whilst
re-fuelling.
DO NOT leave the compressor operating unattended.
DO NOT remove the fuel cap, or try to refuel whilst the engine is
running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool for two minutes
before attempting to refuel.
DO NOT refuel in a closed or poorly ventilated environment as
there is a danger of explosion or fire. Refuel outdoors.
DO NOT operate the compressor if there is a fuel leak. Move the
unit to a safe area, where there is no risk of ignition, until the leak
has been rectified and the machine is dry.
DO NOT start the engine if there are any flammable materials
near the exhaust system or in the path of the exhaust gases.
DO NOT block the engine ventilation grilles.
DO NOT cover the compressor or restrict air flow around the
machine whilst it is operating.
WARNING! The air tank is a pressure vessel and the
following safety measures apply:
DO NOT tamper with the safety valve and DO NOT modify or
alter the tank in any way and DO NOT strap anything to the tank.
DO NOT subject the tank to impacts, vibration or to heat and
DO NOT allow contact with abrasive or corrosive materials.
DO drain condensation from tank daily and inspect inside
walls for corrosion every 12 months.
The tank shell must not fall below the certified thickness at
any point.
When not in use, store the compressor carefully in a safe, dry,
childproof location.
When the compressor is not in use, it should be switched
off and the air drained from the tank.

3. PREPARATION
3.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any
missing or damaged parts. If anything is found to be missing
or damaged contact your supplier.
3.2. Save the packing material for future transportation of the
compressor. It is recommended to store the packing in a safe
location, at least for the period of the guarantee. Then, if
necessary, it will be easier to send the compressor to the
service centre.
3.3. Take care to transport the compressor correctly, do not
overturn it or lift it with hooks or ropes.
3.4. Positionthecompressoronaatsurfaceorwithamaximum
permissible inclination of 10°. Site in a well ventilated area.
If the surface is inclined and smooth, check if the compressor
moves whilst in operation.
If the surface is in a raised position, make sure the
compressor cannot fall, securing it in a suitable way.
3.5. Toensuregoodventilationandefcientcooling,the
compressor’s belt guard must be at least 100cm from any
wall.
3.6. Before using the compressor, check the oil level by looking
at the dipstick as shown in fig.5C. If the oil is not between the
min and max. mark, it should be topped up with synthetic oil
(see section 5.4. for recommended oils). We do not
recommend using mineral oil in these compressors. Do not
overfill.
3.7. The compressor should be located in a position that allows
good air circulation around the unit and where there is good
ventilation. Remember that the compressor's engine
produces harmful exhaust fumes.
Note: a) If the relief valve does not cut in and out, but is
continuously closed whilst using an air appliance, the
capacity of the compressor may be too small for the
equipment or tool.
b) The gauge (fig.2D) indicates the pressure inside the tank,
NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment. If the
pressure in the tank exceeds the relief valve maximum, a
safety valve (fig.5E) will open. WARNING! For this reason
DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the relief valve or the
safety valve.

4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply
Section 1 Safety Instructions.
4.1. STARTING
IMPORTANT! Always check and, if necessary, top-up the
engine oil and the pump oil before starting. Severe engine
and/or pump damage may otherwise result.
4.1.1. Check that the air outlet valve on the tank end-plate (fig.1.A)
is closed.
4.1.2. Start the compressor engine, following the procedure
detailed in the manufacturer’s handbook supplied.
Ensure the oil is topped up. Oil filler/dipstick - fig.2A.
4.1.3. When the engine is running smoothly, the compressor will
operate automatically, building up the pressure in the tank,
which is shown on the pressure gauge (fig.2D), to the
maximum setting (factory set). When the maximum tank
pressure is reached, the relief valve (fig.2B) will
automatically vent the pump output. When the tank
pressure falls below the minimum threshold
(approx.2bar/29psi less than the maximum pressure), the
relief valve will automatically close, and the tank pressure will
increase back to it's maximum.

4.2. STOPPING.
4.2.1. To stop the compressor turn the engine ignition switch (fig.3)
to Off (O). See the engine manufacturer’s handbook for the
complete engine shutdown procedure.
4.3. CONNECTING AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT.
4.3.1. After fitting the desired coupling to the outlet valve (fig.1)
connect an air hose and hook up to air system. An outlet
regulator is necessary to use air equipment direct from the
compressor.
Note: To determine the correct working pressure and air flow
requirements for any piece of equipment check the
corresponding manual. Be aware that the air flow figure
stated on tools and accessories refers to ‘Free Air Delivery’
and not the piston displacement of the compressor. When
adjusting the regulator, always adjust up to the required
pressure.
4.4. WHEN WORK IS COMPLETE.
At the end of each working day, drain any moisture from the
main tank. Place a container under the drain plug and then
carefully unscrew it (fig.4). DO NOT allow moisture to
accumulate in the tank as this will corrode the inside of the
tank and affect the pressure rating of the tank.
WARNING! Wear safety goggles and gloves when performing
this task.
